Hi everyone. I just bought a third hard drive which again brought up the question of how to set-up things for optimal performance. While I’ve read around forums about this, I’d appreciate feed-back on certain points.

I’m planning to do this :

First 80GB drive for apps and DAW.
Second 160HG for samples.
Third 160GB for recorded audio.

My questions are : What about soft-synths and such ? There are 3 components here, the software itself, the “sampler instruments files” and the actual samples’ files (wav. Sf2. Aiff. Etc). Is the whole thing better off in the samples’ drive ? Or the app stays in the first with the sampler instruments’ files while the samples go to the samples’ drive ? Or both the sampler instruments and the samples go there ?

Then. About the third recorded audio drive, is it better strictly used for audio that’s recorded with one’s sequencer or can it be also used to store other audio stuff – such as recorded audio made with other programs (in wav, aiff formats and such) as such or compressed as MP3s, MPEGs, etc ?

Also. Some mentioned making a partition on first drive to separate the DAW’s sequencer from all other apps. Any value in this ?

That’s it for now. Thanks in advance,

Yes, as I understand it. That would be true they are samples that are loaded into RAM that would be triggered by your sampler Plug. This would be a different function from Loops and Full tracks which should be on a separate drive. I would love to hear some other input on the subject though because I don't know if I ever heard a definitive answer on the subject.
